Califronium is a element in the periodic table.Its symbol, mass, and number are CF, mass is 251 and its 98th element in the periodic table. The name of Califronium came from the state of California because it was discovered there.
Its physcial facts make it radioactive, due to its 98 protons and electrons with 153 neutrons.
Its Source of the symbol is Synthetic.
The melting point of the atom is 1173.2oK, 900oC, or 1652oF, and there is no know boiling point.
It is found underground and its abundance in the earth’s crust also in seawater and in the sun.
Density is 15.1g/cm3.
It is used in nuclear power plants, nuclear reactors, and some bombs.
Interesting facts-californium is a radioactive rare earth metal named after the state of California. 252 is a strong neutron emitter and one microgram emits 170 million neutrons per minute, making it a biological hazard.
